separate the garment from its gendered connotations
Louise,
I started wearing skirts because they were more comfortable than jeans
over a fairly substantial knee brace. Turns out they are better for
ventilation, too.
I definitely enjoy the twirl effect, and find the skirt a practical tool
for guiding the directionally-challenged through a hey. I've had fun
making up silly answers when asked why I'm wearing a skirt, always
trying to communicate the contra community's openness and acceptance,
which goes far beyond fashion choices.
